Hong Kong Registered Since 2009
The Sourcing Partner That 510+ Brands Trust to Protect Their Supply Chain
15 years. One mission: make China sourcing safe, transparent, and profitable.
We're not a directory. We're not a middleman. We're a team of 100+ sourcing specialists living in China's manufacturing hubs — visiting factories in person, negotiating on your behalf, and managing your supply chain like an extension of your own company.
Who We Are
Real People on the Ground. Real Factories. Real Results.
We're not the typical "sourcing agent" emailing factory contacts they've never met. Our 100+ specialists live and work in China's manufacturing hubs — Wuhan, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Yiwu, and Ningbo — walking factory floors, inspecting production lines, and negotiating face-to-face in Mandarin.
We tap into Alibaba, 1688, and a deeply vetted network of 450+ offline factories that most international buyers never discover — then handle supplier matching, quality inspection, OEM/ODM customization, and global freight forwarding through one dedicated account manager.

Founder's Story
Sharline Shaw Built LeelineGroup Because She Was Tired of Seeing Great Brands Get Burned
Over 15 years in China's export industry, Sharline witnessed the same story play out again and again: promising brands investing tens of thousands into production, only to receive substandard goods — or nothing at all. Middlemen marked up factory quotes by 30-40%. Quality failures cost brands $50K+ in lost inventory and missed sales. And when problems happened, there was nobody on the ground to fix them.
She founded LeelineGroup to change that equation. No more hidden markups. No more crossed-finger quality control. No more chasing factory owners across time zones wondering if your shipment actually exists. Instead: factory-direct pricing with open-book transparency, multi-stage quality inspections documented with photos, and a bilingual team that can be on-site within 24 hours when something needs fixing.
Today, Sharline leads a team of 100+ sourcing specialists who handle everything from startup launches to enterprise-scale procurement — with the same principle she started with: treat every client's supply chain like it's your own.

Make Sourcing From China Safer Than Buying Locally
Sourcing from China shouldn't mean gambling with your business. Our mission is to make every transaction — from factory vetting to final delivery — more transparent, more reliable, and more predictable than domestic procurement. When you work with LeelineGroup, you get the cost advantages of China manufacturing without the trust issues.
- ● Every factory visited and audited in person before you commit a single dollar
- ● Factory quotes shared directly with you — no markup, no hidden fees, full transparency
- ● Multi-stage quality inspections with photo reports at every checkpoint before shipment
Our Vision
A World Where 'Made in China' Means Quality You Can Count On
Every brand deserves access to the world's best manufacturing — without the horror stories. We envision a supply chain ecosystem where international buyers source from China with the same confidence they'd have buying from a local supplier: verified quality, enforceable contracts, and someone physically present to hold factories accountable.
- ● Setting the standard for on-the-ground factory verification — 200+ audits per year
- ● Building long-term partnerships where suppliers know they're held accountable every single order
- ● Expanding our factory network and warehousing infrastructure so more brands can source securely
The Difference
Four Reasons Brands Switch to LeelineGroup — and Stay
Factory-Direct Pricing — No Middleman Markup
We source from a deeply vetted network of offline industrial clusters and top-tier 1688 suppliers, giving you direct access to genuine manufacturers. Factory quotes are shared with you openly. No hidden markups, no commission padding — just transparent pricing that protects your margins.
Startup-Friendly MOQ — Test Before You Commit
Most factories want 5,000+ unit minimums. We negotiate MOQs that match your business stage — often 500 units or fewer for initial runs. Warehouse stock options let you scale up gradually without locking capital into excess inventory.
Consolidation Warehousing — Gather, Inspect, Ship
Sourcing from multiple factories? We consolidate everything at our secure Chinese facilities. Incoming QC, storage, and consolidated shipping to any global destination — one shipment, one set of customs docs, zero logistics chaos.
Compliance Managed End-to-End
CE, FDA, RoHS, FCC, REACH — we verify compliance before products leave the factory, not after customs rejects your shipment. Our team stays current on regulation changes across 85+ destination countries so your products clear customs every time.
